One of my all time favorite games: Microprose World Circuit (aka Formula One Grand Prix) DOS 1992.
$FRIEND brought his PC and CRT (on his bicycle) and we stayed up all night to play the Monaco track, in FULL LENGTH with all collisions enabled, in two player mode over serial null modem cable. "We didn’t know it yet, but this was as good as it gets"

Destruction of Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS)
Video Credit: Brian Day, SOHO, SDO, JHelioviewer
Text: Cecilia Chirenti (NASA GSFC, UMCP, CRESST II)

Explanation: As the crew of Artemis II travelled towards the Moon this week, Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) was expected to have its closest approach to the Sun on Monday. At this point, comet and Sun would be closer than half the distance separating the Earth and Moon. The comet did not survive; the featured video was made with 40 hours of data and shows the comet plunging toward the Sun, like a moth to a flame. Observing the comet so close to our bright star requires a coronagraph, an instrument that blocks the Sun and is used for studies of its corona. This composite video combines, starting from the outside, views from: the wider angle coronagraph (blue) and the narrower angle coronagraph (red), both on NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, and NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (black). We can see the comet approaching the sun, stretching, disappearing behind the coronagraph's occulting disk and reappearing as a cloud of debris that dissipates.

The Colorado River is on the brink of possible forced water cuts. One thing is certain: There will be lawyers.

The Colorado River is on the brink of possible forced water cuts. One thing is certain: There will be lawyers.

The Colorado River's shrinking flows could trigger water cuts under a century-old compact — or the legal fights already gathering momentum.

I want to teach a class on repurposing electronics. We could start out just taking some broken things apart and seeing if we can fix them, but every student would have to pick something to repurpose or revive as a semester-long project. Maybe they want to turn an old propane lantern into an LED lantern, convert a cordless drill with dead nicad batteries to lithium, or jailbreak an e-bike. Everyone should leave the class with a device or appliance with a new lease on life. A community college should hire me for this
